Hardware circuits and programming methods for the attendance checking node are discussed,including the single-chip computer with CAN controller AT89C51CC03,the CAN bus transceiver TJA1050,the large capacity DataFlash memory,the real-time clock DS1302,the voice chip ISD2560 and the card-reading circuit in Wie-gand format. All the extended hardware satisfies the requirements for intrinsically safe circuits (GB3836.4-2000) and intrinsically safe authentication promoted by the national explosion-proof institute. Further,the software programming methods for the CAN controller (AT89C51CC03) and the implementation of the CAN communications protocol are presented as well.展开更多

Study was carried out with the distorted plane waves of triton and of proton. It has been suggested that bineutron association is acceptable if the time during which the association maintains its structure, is large compared with the time when neutrons are in a dissociated form, and there is no exchange of nucleons between fragments associations. The cross section is written as a product of two factors, one is the spectroscopic factor which reflects the nature of the nuclear structure concerned and the other describes the process in which the target nucleus captures two nucleons as a cluster into an orbit which is characterized by a form factor. In the argument, that the radial wave function of two neutrons which form association captured nuclei close to each other, this leads to the formation of bineutron association on the nuclei surface. In this approach, the proton is emitted at the same point, which is captured bineutron association.展开更多

The simulation results are consistent with published experimental data. Core-annulus solids mass transfer coefficient decreases with increasing particle size, particle density and solids circulation rate,but generally increases with increasing superficial gas velocity and riser diameter. In the upper dilute region of gas-solid fluidized bed risers, core-annulus solids mass transfer coefficient was found to change little with the axial coordinate in the bed.展开更多
